Future Mud-Bogging Outback

[EagleOutback]

I have a '97 Outback Wagon. I have a few ideas that i think would be fun to tool around with but i am lacking in information.

1. Basically i want to "Americanize" my Outback.
My dream would be to raise it with about a 2-4 inch body lift with an additional 4-5 inch Suspension lift. Some High Profiled 33 inch tires. In the later future an air-intake through the cab and out the roof, but for now an intake hook-up for the hoodscoop(I've only seen the scoop i have and a bigger ones on WRX's or something). a sway bar. and maybe in the future swap the Flat 4, for a Flat 6 that came out in the new 2004 Subarus. I would really love to hook up a Chevy 350 small block.

Before you begin to bash me on my foolish dreams, please know, that i know how stupid this is. A chevy in a subaru... raising a foreign car 5-6 inches let alone RAISING a FOREIGN CAR. I am aware of the difficulty to find parts, for Subarus, that i need to do what i hopefully someday will achieve. Thats where the forum comes in.

I have searched over some sites but i cannot seem to find any of this(*Probably because the parts don't exist and this wont happen*- that is what you are thinking)

so mainly i am looking for

*A Two to Four inch Body lift for subarus
(i have checked out scorpion automotive and they only offer a 2 inch lift)

*Any Suspension sites/Stores that would help me in my search for a Suspension Kit/ materials .

*Rims and Tires are expensive but a little easier to find, i got that covered.

*A kit for a Subaru Hoodscoop fitted air intake.

*A sway bar or information about fabrication/the science behind sway bars.

*now the chevy engine would require a full strip of just about the entire car(accessories, new trany, the works) but has anyone ever heard of such a swap?

I am aware of my foolish ideas but i am just requesting any information/ knowledge that would someday help my Dream come true. Thanks to anyone that helps. Laugh away.

Here is a link you may want to look at. I know it is a Forester, but he may know where you can get some of the stuff you are looking for.

The flat-6 has been around for a while.

I know someone in Oregon that just lifted a Baja 3-4 inches. It can be done.. anything can be done if you have the $$$

The lift was custom made. If you are planning on using anything other than the scorpion lift, it will have to be custom.

A 350 in a soob can be done as well.. once again. everything custom. So you had better have either deep pockets or good fab skills.

You are wanting to run 33-34 inch tires? Expect to have to lift the car 6 or so inches plus a little bit of fender massaging/trimming.

If you really want a lifted roo, but don't want to invest a huge fortune, Find yourself and older L-series and lift it. Then you can have a Dual range transmission in it as well.

Go to www.ozified.com . Patrick makes lifts for older soobs, and I believe he is working on one for the legacy as well.
